Napoli president De Laurentiis admits move for Arsenal keeper Ospina

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis admits they're keen to sign Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina.

De Laurentiis says signing Ospina is more likely that Liverpool's Simon Mignolet.

He said, "Could I sign Ospina? It's true, he could come. We're negotiating, but there are differences over demands.

“It's probably a deal that will go through. Mignolet? Without taking anything away from Mignolet, but you know we've been looking at Ochoa, Mignolet and Ospina, as well as Fiorentina's Tatarusanu.

“There are four in contention, but although I liked Ochoa, I didn't want to sign him anymore because even though his agents came to visit us in Dublin, he's a non-EU citizen."
